There’s a certain irony here as ARM is 100% British European.

Sorry to break it to you but its owned by Softbank. So technically its Japanese and ideogically its heavy US VC funds aligned.
I see the point but you really care about

- Who Owns it (Japan) - Where is it headquartered (Cambridge) - Where is most of the IP produced (Cambridge mostly, but the remainder is in the US)

So if we care about being fast, surely the most expedient way, complete with guaranteed success, is to simply buy out softbank and then bring any IP development that's been offshored to the US back to Europe?

And the CEO is an American based in California.

It is pretty hard to call Arm, or any decently sized modern company, 100% anything.

If they feel like offering licenses, I bet European companies will appreciate.

Besides they are no longer 100% as you mention.
